The Veterans Curation Program utilizes the standard archival practice of unique naming of collections. The purpose of this practice is to avoid redundant and confusing collection names commonly found with archaeological investigations. Therefore, this collection is referred to as “Clifty Creek Human Skeletal Remains N.D.” This name is consistent throughout the finding aid, the file folder, and the box labels. The extent of this collection is a quarter of a linear inch. The Glenn A. Black...

The USACE, Louisville District obtained these materials through an archaeological survey of land potentially affected by the proposed Clifty Creek reservoir project in Bartholomew County (12B) and Decatur (12DE) County, Indiana. The Clifty Creek reservoir involved the construction of one or more dams on the Clifty Creek and Fall Fork to provide flood control and recreational facilities. Curtis Tomak accomplished the survey during the fall and winter of 1973-1974 under contract from the National...

A search of the pertinent literature and records on the Mud River drainage has produced information on 33 archeological sites and one National Register structure. The nature of the archeological sites and prehistoric settlement patterns and the fact that most sewer lines will be constructed along existing roads and through other disturbed areas makes it unlikely that unrecorded National Register sites will be affected by the project. A sewer line will be constructed adjacent to or over the Mud...

A search of the pertinent literature and records indicate that two potentially significant historic sites were located in the Island Creek Basin. Two archaeological sites were located adjacent to the project area in the town of Logan and one archaeological site was recorded near Omar. Given the nature and location of the project alternatives it was not expected that significant sites would be effected. A cultural resources survey was recommended once a specific project alternative was selected.
